The football world comes to a standstill for a new version of the Spanish Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The two teams will meet on matchday 11, where the Catalans will be looking to reach the top of the standings, which is led by Los Blancos. Both teams have lost only one match in the competition, so they are in great shape to provide a good spectacle.
The Spanish football classic attracts attention on a new date in European football. The Santiago Bernabeu will be the scene for this great match, where figures such as Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe will seek to establish themselves in the most important match of 2025 for their clubs.
This is how Real Madrid arrives at the Clasico against Barcelona
Real Madrid arrives in great form to this new Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu. Xabi Alonso’s team is coming off a one-nil win over Juventus on matchday three of the UEFA Champions League and in LaLiga, they beat Getafe one-nil away from home.
Los Merengues have had an almost perfect start to the season, with only one defeat, which came in La Liga against Atletico Madrid. In the Champions League they have won all their matches, so they arrive with confidence sky high for a new version of the Clasico.
Xabi Alonso’s team’s big threat is Kylian Mbappe, who is expected to shine in this type of match. The Frenchman has 15 goals and two assists this season, so he is the one to break Barcelona’s defensive line at the Bernabeu.
How is Barcelona coming into the Clasico against Real Madrid?
Hansi Flick’s team managed to pick itself up after two tough defeats, which were against PSG in the Champions League and a thrashing by Sevilla before the international break. They are currently coming off the back of a win over Girona in LaLiga and a 6-1 thrashing of Olympiacos
Barcelona is in second place in LaLiga, just two points behind Real Madrid, so this match is key to snatch the top spot from their arch-rivals and thus depend on themselves for the rest of the season.
The great figure of the team, Lamine Yamal, arrived at a good time, as he recovered 100% from his physical problems and in the last Champions League match he played quite well, where he scored one of the goals. The Spaniard has three goals and five assists this season and already knows what it is like to be a star in a Clasico, so he will also be a regular for Flick.
